    Journal entry

    Explanation:

    The journal entry is as follows

    Cash $5,000

    To other financing source - sale of capital assets $5000

    (Being the sale in the general fund is recorded)

    For recording this transaction we debited the cash account as it increases the asset account while credited the other financing source - sale of capital assets
